I'm using Mac Os Version 10.9 Mavericks, When I use Option+key, it will print greek letters such as åß∂ƒ..., How to disable this function? Because it conflicts with some emacs key in IDEs.
Answer: A: you can do it system preferences->keyboard and mouse->keyboard->modifier keys. set "option" to no action.
For Mac OSX:In System Preferences, click on Keyboard and then on the Input Sources Tab. On the left is a list of keyboards currently installed. Click the + to add a new keyboard. Select Greek from the lefthand column and Greek Polytonic from the righthand column.
To open this pane, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard , then click Text. The Replace list shows words and phrases you want to replace as you type them; the With list shows the replacement words and phrases. To change a word or phrase in either list, click it, then type a new word or phrase.
Solved natively as follows:
⟶ System preferences
⟶ Keyboard
⟶ Input Sources Tab
⟶ +
at bottom left
⟶ add and select Unicode Hex Input

I use Ukulele to fix this issue.
This is my settings looks like, you can delete them all.
That all, Now you can use emacs key style in some IDE such as IntelliJ or Android Studio.
